Start this fresh fruit snack or side dish by placing skewers in water and soaking well — at least 10 minutes. Meantime, cube or slice cantaloupe, pineapple, mango, honeydew or other favorite fruit. Thread the fresh fruit onto the skewers when they're done soaking. Place the skewers on a baking sheet and sprinkle the fruit lightly with brown sugar. Broil in the oven until the fruit is slightly browned and bubbly, about 2 minutes on each side.

If desired, serve with a dipping sauce, such as this one: In a small bowl, whisk together 4 ounces low-fat, sugar-free lemon yogurt, 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice and 1 teaspoon lime zest. Cover and refrigerate the dipping sauce until you're ready to serve the fruit skewers.
